These astonishing snaps reveal the magic of Iceland's rugged and beautiful landscapes – and why the country remains high on many holidaymakers' bucket lists.
With exquisite detail, tourist Wim Denijs captured eye-popping scenes that show fog rolling over mountains, water sweeping over the Godafoss falls, and a calm day on the water surrounding the majestic Hvítserkur, a 50ft basalt rock on the Vatnsnes peninsula.
The 60-year-old photographer has been drawn to Iceland's unique landscapes ever since the 2010 eruptions of Eyjafjallajokull.
The volcanic eruption produced a massive ash cloud that shut down much of Europe's airspace, grounding more than 100,000 flights and ruining millions of holidays.
Wim, from Flanders, Belgium, said: 'I discovered Iceland in 2010 after the eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull and there I realised how small and fragile we are.
'I saw the melting of the glaciers, the power of nature and I became more and more a landscape-photographer.
'It's so beautiful when you're standing in the middle of a river and you see that everything's in harmony - the shapes of the mountains, the flood of the water and the colours of the sky.'
Wim has visited Iceland seven times since 2010, but is still discovering amazing sights.
His favourite picture in this set was taken on the pains of the Vestrahorn – an imposing mountain in the south-east of the country.
He said: 'I'm especially intrigued by culture, colour and lights, including a photographic study of landscape and people's lives.
'I could look at a line of laundry flapping in the wind, a pair of old, hard-working couple, a crowd of people on the street, and find it beautiful.
'Through photography I want to tell everyone that no matter what no-one is alone no one is forgotten in this world.
'We are all human being belonging to nature no matter what political decisions are made.'
